I'm ver
Camping, Fishing, Hiking, Cooking, Shooting, Reading, Biking, Skateboarding
I am very much an outdoorsman, I love being out in nature and experiencing new exciting places, I also love to cook as I am the main chef of the house with my wife and daughter.
I go fishing as much as possible and you could probably find me at least 3 times a week on the pier, lake or local jetty.
I've played guitar for about 22 years and piano slightly less, music is a big part of my life.
